DNI Tulsi Gabbard Ordered Feasibility Review of Random Polygraph Screening: antipolygraph.org/blog/2025/10...

Feds specifically carved out an exemption for government stuff in the law otherwise banning polygraph use. Polygraph machines are basically the same exact thing as Scientology e-meters that "read your thetans".

You beat it by knowing that they are not real. Polygraphs are fake science more like a ouija or a magic amulet than a real test. They only "work" by tricking people into thinking they do so you confess.

It is why it’s so funny that trump is so obsessed with scaling way up the use of polygraph and surprise polygraph testing across the federal government, it underscores how much he thinks fantasy and things he sees on tv are Real

Today, 6 October 2025, would have been the late polygraph critic Doug Williams' 80th birthday. This photo was taken 10 years ago this day, as he was facing a two-year prison sentence on trumped-up charges. For more on his life, see: antipolygraph.org/blog/2021/03...

Random polygraph tests sound like a crackdown on leaks. In reality, they threaten the very rights federal employees and military service members rely on for fairness, privacy, and due process. Polygraphs fear, not truth. #MilitaryDefense www.militarydefense.com/polygraphs-w...

Pentagon Plans Random Polygraphs for Leakers: antipolygraph.org/blog/2025/10...

Polygraphs can not determine the truth, guilt, innocence or lies. Polygraphs are invasive interrogations designed to get you to confess to as many crimes as humanly possible. If you agree to submit to a polygraph, you’re guilty, you just don’t know it yet.

Pentagon Plans Random Polygraphs for Leakers: antipolygraph.org/blog/2025/10...

Pentagon puts way too much stock in polygraphs. There’s a reason they’re not admissible in court - the results are bullshit. It does make for a miserable way to spend a day and kills morale tho

Polygraphs are pseudoscience and should be outlawed

On this day in 1997, the FBI's top scientific expert on polygraphs testified to the Senate that polygraph screening "is completely without any theoretical foundation and has absolutely no validity": antipolygraph.org/s/richardson

On this day in 2001, the Defense Intelligence Agency's senior analyst for Cuban affairs, Ana Belén Montes, was arrested for espionage. The Cubans had taught her how to beat a polygraph test, which she did. DoD has learned nothing from this experience: antipolygraph.org/blog/2016/07...

Think about polygraph tests. Marketed as infallible and widely adopted, by the time it was rigorously tested it had too thoroughly penetrated its target market for it to ever be abandoned. Now it is used solely by gov't as a vetting tool with huge consequences despite no scientific justification.

ON THIS DAY in 1971, President Richard Milhouse Nixon uttered the infamous words, "I don't know anything about polygraphs, and I don't know how accurate they are, but I know they'll scare the hell out of people." antipolygraph.org/documents/ni...

Question: if polygraphs are so unreliable that they're not admissible in court, why do police rule in or out persons of interest based on the results of a polygraph?

FBI Employees Asked on Polygraph Whether They Have Cast Aspersions on Director Kash Patel: antipolygraph.org/blog/2025/07...

Former CIA Officer Brian O'Neill on Why the Trump Administration's Polygraph Campaign Against Leakers Is Unlikely to Succeed: antipolygraph.org/blog/2025/07...

The credibility of polygraph tests has been challenged since the 1920s. It's amazing it's still being used at all. The courts don't trust them enough to accept test results as evidence, but apparently the FBI does.

I applied for the NSA a few years ago and when I had to take a polygraph, I told the tester flat out that I think it's junk science. I ended up failing the test even though I answered truthfully and could only laugh. I took it as a sign that I really didn't want the job.

STOP. There is no such thing as a lie detector. There is a POLYGRAPH - which, if it's like the NSA, is run like a tool-assisted stress-test and interrogation. No concern for the mental damage being accused, yelled at, and eviscerated emotionally can have. Ask me how I know.

I interviewed George Maschke (@antipolygraph.bsky.social), a former U.S. Army interrogator and reserve intelligence officer, who co-founded AntiPolygraph.org. We discussed the Trump administration's reliance on lie detector tests to coerce fealty and enforce secrecy. thedissenter.org/dissenter-up...

The New York Times reports that the FBI is using lie detector tests to ask personnel whether they have ever said anything negative about FBI Director Kash Patel or FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino. This is an unprecedented and extreme use of polygraphs and an attack on whistleblowers.

The fact that any law enforcement agency still uses this pseudoscience BS is face to table smashingly unbelievable.

FBI has unleashed polygraphs on senior officials. "Disparaging Mr. Patel or his deputy, Dan Bongino, former officials say, could cost people their job." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/u...

Trump administration's polygraph campaign against leakers is unlikely to succeed, according to a former CIA officer. Aggressive use of lie detectors may divert resources from national security priorities. theconversation.com/trump-admini... By Brian O'Neill @gtresearchnews.bsky.social

An excellent article (use link). Its time to abandon nonverbal behaviour as a deception cue. 50 years of research show no support for it. Polygraph, voice stress analysis, microexpressions, eye tracking - its all pseudoscience. #Deception crestresearch.ac.uk/download/490...

It’s not just climate science that is rejected by the US govt. The #USA continues using disproven polygraph testing. See @kgosztola.bsky.social Dissenter interview with George Maschke of Antipolygraph.org
